Former Celtic Larry Siegfried passed away Thursday night. Siegfried, who was 71, had been at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio since suffering a heart attack on Oct. 5.

Siegfried won five NBA championships with the Celtics from 1964-69. The guard averaged double figures foam 1965-66 to 1969-70, averaging a career-best 14.2 potions a game along with 3.6 rebounds and 4.7 assists during the 1968-69 campaign.

A native of Shelby, Ohio, was the third pick in the 1961 NBA Draft, taken by the Cincinnati Royals. He played two seasons in the American Basketball League with the Cleveland Pipers before joining a Celtics team that included his former Ohio State teammate John Havlicek, along with Bill Russell.

Siegfried finished his NBA career scoring almost 6,000 points, having also played for San Diego, Houston, and Atlanta.

The 4-1 Baltimore Ravens will be without three players for Sunday's game against the 3-1 Patriots at Gillette Stadium and could be without a key fourth player.

Appearing on The Big Show, MLB.com and NESN baseball analyst Peter Gammons talked about the perception the public will have regarding the Red Sox spending money this offseason after their investment in the Liverpool F.C. soccer team. Regarding the purchase of the team, Gammons said, "I'm told it's a one billion dollar business they bought for about 400 million," also noting that the investment might actually help the Sox over a 10-year period.

Within the conversation about the Red Sox' approach in the offseason, Gammons suggested that Tampa Bay outfielder Carl Crawford will be the Sox' chief target. "My guess is that they will go really hard after Carl Crawford." The Hall of Fame journalist noted that Crawford might warrant the kind of long-term contract he will be looking for because "he doesn't want to be the guy stealing 70 bases," and is content in becoming more than just a basestealer heading into his 30's...

WILMINGTON -- A season after finishing with the 23rd power play in the NHL, the Bruins have been able to convert just one of their first eight power plays on the season, good for 19th so far on the young season.

Bruins coach Claude Julien spoke about special teams on Friday and preached patience.
